Mysql – Difference beetween thesql 5.5 and 5.6

database-recommendationMySQL

I have a big performance problem beetwen my local mysql instance and the server.
I have this request : 

DELETE a 
FROM a 
LEFT OUTER JOIN 
( SELECT MAX(id) as id, 
`v_id`, 
`v_statut`, 
`c_controle`, 
`c_d_controle` 
 FROM `a` 
 GROUP BY `v_id`, 
 `v_statut`, 
 `c_controle`, 
 `c_d_controle`
 ) AS t1 ON `a`.id = t1.id
 WHERE t1.id IS NULL;

The purpose of the request is to remove duplicate identified by the GROUP BY. I have already created key for the group by.

In my local server (5.6.17) this request is about 15 seconds on 700 000 lines, on the server(5.5.43) this request is endless.

Is there any mysql tuning or SQL request optimization that can help me.

Thanks.

EXPLAIN the SELECT subquery. (This will workaround the point that jynus brought up.)

Your KEY vigi_unique can be made somewhat better by adding id onto the end of it. This will change the EXPLAIN to say "Using index" because it will be a "covering index".

But the real reason for 5.6 to be faster is ...

  • The subquery is after "LEFT JOIN", so 5.5 evaluates it over and over (I think), and
  • 5.6 will create an INDEX (on the fly) for the subquery.

Suggest using EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON SELECT ... on 5.6 to see a little more.

You should consider moving to InnoDB.

Another way to "dedup" is to create a new table (with a UNIQUE index to prevent future dups), populate it with INSERT ... SELECT DISTINCT ..., then RENAME TABLE to move it into place.
